Dearer to the hearts of the American people than any other event in history; dearer than all other holidays ; dearer than the anniversaries of the birth of their great men and the achievements of the men of the war of the rebellion is the Fourth of July, the natal day of the nation.

There ars times when a community can put m.tre enthusiasm tn the celebration than tin der ordinary circumstances, and one of thoes times ihaa come to Astoria Mayor Taylor" has recognised the situa tion and the following call will un doubtedly bring out a large crowd of representative citizens: I have been requested to call a meeting of our citizens to consider the . advisa bility of attempting a celebration of the coming Fourth of July. I therefore re quest all persons Interested In the matter of celebrating said day to meet at the court house on Thursday evening, May r, 1897, at half-past 7 o'clock. FRANK J. TAYLOR, Mayor. Astoria now has the opportunity of not only property celebrating the birth day of the nation, but of celebrating its own Independence and Its release from the chains that have bound It In the past to the condition of a mere fishing village to the wider field of a great commercial center and shipping port. The railroad, now rapidly near Ing completion, with Its connection with all transcontinental lines, will open the doors of prosperity in As- jtorla, and 1S97 will see the work com I pleted. Astoria's independence is as sured, and the celebration of the event can well be Joined with the celebration of national Independence. General bus iness prospects throughout the state and city are better than In years past, and the leaiing business men and clt Izejis feel that the Fourth will be the most fitting day on which to have a grand jubilee and patriotic celebration. The times call for it. and the people I win nrsiHjin.i. ieauorsfinip only is neeu jed, and the mayor will be eiual to the occasion with the support of the peo- pie. GREEN THE WINNER. San Francisco.
